  • Here's why you should start your foam rolling practice TODAY!

  • Muscle Tension Release

    Foam rolling targets specific muscles, releasing tension and tightness. This physical release can translate into a sense of relaxation and reduced muscular stress.

  • Increased Blood Flow

    The rolling action stimulates blood circulation, enhancing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to muscles. Improved blood flow is associated with stress reduction and a sense of well-being.

  • Trigger Point Release

    Foam rolling can help intuitively target trigger points or muscle knots. Releasing these knots through self-massage can alleviate pain and discomfort, contributing to stress reduction.

  • Mind-Body Connection

    Engaging in an hour of foam rolling session involves mindfulness and focus on the body. This connection between the mind and body can have calming effects, reducing overall stress levels.

  • Endorphin Release

    Like any form of exercise, foam rolling can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. This can lead to an improved mood and reduced stress.

  • Relaxation Response

    Foam rolling, when done properly, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering the body's relaxation response. This counters the stress-induced fight-or-flight response, promoting a state of calm.

  • Improved Posture and Alignment

    Rolling out tight muscles and fascia can help correct posture by releasing tension that pulls the body out of alignment.

  • Enhanced Muscle Recovery

    Rolling over tight muscles can help release tension and increase flexibility, allowing for better movement during workouts and daily activities.

  • Injury Prevention

    Regular foam rolling can help identify and alleviate muscle imbalances, reducing the risk of injury during physical activities.

  • Cost-Effective Self-Massage

    Foam rolling provides a self-massage techniques that's accessible and cost-effective compared to professional massages.

Maggie Valentino | Certified Massage Therapist | Release technique

MAGGIE
Certified Massage Therapist & Fascial Stretch Therapist, 16 years

Hi, I'm Maggie!

Pleasure to meet you. I've been a massage therapist since 2007, a Fascial Stretch Therapist since 2014, a fitness instructor since 2009 and a ballet dancer all my life. In 2013 I created a full body, self massage class called Release Technique where people learn how to release tension and stress while becoming empowered to be their own massage therapists. I opened and operated a successful studio based on its concept and now train massage therapists, yoga instructors and fitness trainers how to teach the class to their clients.

I thrive on teaching people how to take charge of their aches and pains through this method of foam rolling that is unique, relaxing and deeply effective.

Class FAQ

  • You’ll need a foam roller of any kind of this class. Although any roller will work, I have specific recommendations should you find that your roller is too small, too firm, or just needs an upgrade. ;)

  • You’ve got access to this class always. It’s a pre-recorded class that you can take again and again, but I do suggest branching out. There are dozens of techniques in Release Technique classes to experience and in each class you’ll learn and feel something new.

  • This class is for *anyone who is self-care-curious. Whether you hold emotion and tension in your body, have aches and pain, or just want to discover new ways to understand your body, this class is for you.

    *You must be mobile enough to get onto the floor and. get back up again to take this class.
